Eating again....for now

Today's x-ray showed that the ileus has gone down considerably and the doctors decided to resume his feeds. YAY!! He started out with small doses of Pedialyte through his feeding tube and then at 10pm, we started him on the good stuff! He was able to drink 1oz by mouth (which he loved!!). Now he is getting small amounts at a gradual pace through his feeding tube. The goal tonight will be to KEEP IT IN HIS TUMMY--please pray that he does not throw up and that his belly will continue to heal. He has his intrafecal spinal tap scheduled for late afternoon tomorrow along with some other chemo drugs. Pray that his lil body will handle all of the medicines and that he will do well while under anesthesia and that God will guide the doctors hands during the delicate procedure. Dylan is still acting fussy and has not slept well at all today--WE BOTH NEED SLEEP TONIGHT--so we will definetly be praying for that too! Well I am exhausted and am going to try to get this little man to go to bed. Until tomorrow................

Donations for Dylan

Donations for Dylan

Dylan is in remission and we are so thankful! He is one of the happiest little boys you will ever meet. Dylan does have glaucoma (side effect) and the yearly continued out-of-pocket medical costs are over $5,000. Should you wish to make a donation towards Dylan's continued expenses, we would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Baby Dylan Praskins was born on 4/16/09 to Erik and Michelle Praskins, who live in Surprise, AZ. On 6/13/09 at 8 weeks old, Dylan was diagnosed with infant leukemia. ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) is a very aggressive cancer of the blood. Infants under 90 days old are considered very high risk. He was placed on an aggressive chemo therapy treatment, which also included a bone marrow transplant (cord blood) performed on September 11th, 2009. Whether God uses modern medicine or a miracle, we believe in the power of prayer. We believe that God has healed our son.
